JEWELRY-STAND.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MONROE ENGELSMAN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county, andState of New York, have invented a certain new and useful J ewelry-Stand, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to jewelry stands, and has for its object a standwith which jewelry and other objects can be easily displayed. I

The organization of the invention comprises means for displaying theewelry at various angles, and means for exhibiting tags descri tive ofthe ewelry and its price.

In t 1e drawings Figure 1 shows a stand exemplifying the invention Witha stone holder thereon, Fig. 2 represents a partial axial section ofFig. 1, Fig. 3 is an axial vertical section of the base of the standshown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a rear view of the upper portion of Fig. 1,Figs. 5 and 6 show respectively a plan view and side elevation of a gemholder which is described in my patent application filed March 22d,1906, Serial Number 307,443, Fig. 7 represents a front view of amodification of the invention, Fig. 8 shows an enlarged section of Fig.7 on the line 8, 8, Fig. 9 is a rear view of Fig. 8, Fig. 10 is anelevation of a further modification of the invention, Fig. 11 is a rearview of a portion of Fig. 10, and Fig. 12 is a top plan view of a ortiomof Fig. 10, Fig. 13 shows a side view 0 a portion of Fig. 7.

In a base 20 with suitable ornamentations 21, there is formed a taperedopening. 22, for a handle 23, which latter has an axial cavity forsupporting the rod 24, that carries the bifurcated lug 25. A disk suport 26 with the lug 27 is adjustably secure on a pin 28 with the screw29. The pin 28 being securely fastened to the bifurcated lug 25. The rod24 has a slot 30 at one end, and is generally threaded for thebifurcated lug 25 at the other end. To the disk support 26 is clampedthe disk 31, by means of the screw 32, and to the disk is fastened oneor a plurality of arms 33. To each one of the arms 33 is secured a tag34, by means of a screw 35, and on each arm 33 is fastened a spring 36,which bears on the tag 34 and holds it in different operative positions.The end of each arm 33 is generally somewhat tapered at its extremityfor supporting a piece of jewelry or a stone holder 37 as shown in Fig.1.

Specification of Letters Patent.

[Application filed October 8 1906. Serial No- 3381013.

Patented Jan. 28, 1908.

Referring now to Figs. 7 to 9 and Fig. 13, the invention is modified byproviding a long horizontal bar 40 in place of the pin 28 shown in Figs.1 to 4. A bifurcated lug 41 similar to 25 supports said horizontal bar.On the bar 40 are a plurality of lugs to which are hinged disk supports42 by means of pins 61. Each disk support 42 carries a disk 43, by meansof screw 44. To each disk are secured the arms 45 which may be bent asshown at 46, after which they are again parallel to their main portions.To each arm 45 there is adjustably clamped a tag holder 47, by means ofa screw 48. The said tag holder has formed at its sides the lips 49 forholding a tag 50. It will be noted that the lug 41 may have its disk 43hinged to it with a pin similar to 61.

In Figs. 10, 11 and 12 a vertical rod 52 extends from the handle 53, anda union 54 supports an extension 55 of the rod 52, and a couple ofhorizontal bars 56. T o the extension 55 is secured a bifurcated lug 57which holds a disk support 58 in a manner as already explained, and theends of the rod 56 carry disk supports 59 similar to disk supports 42.

To use the invention and referring first to Figs. 1 to 6, after the endof the rod 24 has been spread somewhat by widening the slot 30, it isplaced at its proper elevation in the handle 23. The disksupport is thentilted to the required angle by being clamped in proper position, bymeans of the screw 29. Then the disk 31 is clamped at the required angleby means of the screw 32. Next the object to be carried is secured tothe outer end of one of the arms 33, and the tag is placed in theposition shown in Fig. 1 if desired' Should the tag be required out ofview it is moved behind the arm, where it will be held by means of thespring 36.

In Figs. 8 and 9 particularly it will be noted that the tag 49 is heldin a tag holder 47. The tag with the holder can be secured with thescrew 48 in various positions, and a spring could be added to the arm tohold the tag in different positions if desired, al

though it may be clamped in various positions without the use of aspring.- It will also be noted that the disk 43 with its appurtenancescan be swung in different vertical planes in the pin 61.

Having described my invention, I claim: 1. The combination in a stand ofa base,

a handle supported on the base, a rod supported in the handle, abifurcated lug extending from the rod, a pin fastened to the bifurcatedlug, a disk-su port carried on the pin, means to clamp the disk-supportat Various angles on the pin, a disk clamped on the disk-support, meansto hold the disk to the support in diiferent angular positions, an armfor supporting an object fastened to the disk, and a tag adjustablysecured to the arm.
